Conyers FORCED to Stand Up for His Own Principles

John Conyers (D-MI) has been posturing as a representitive that actually represents "the People" for at least 4 years now. He consistently takes up the pledge and rhetoric of impeachment and consistently drops the ball or stands quietly on the sidelines as others drop the ball for the "gipper".

After more than two months of trying to schedule a brief meeting with Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) to deliver VFP's 23,000 impeachment signatures, we politely informed the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, in writing, that we would drop by his Washington office with them. And we would sit there until he met with us or hauled us off in handcuffs.

On June 10 VFP issued a news release explaining our intention to call on Conyers the following day. Coincidentally (!) the morning of the 11th, his scheduler called asking, "I hear you're in town today, would you like to meet with the Congressman?"

Domestic Terrorism in Baton Rouge

Bush's trip raised only $500,000. It probably cost the taxpayers at least that much, if not more, in security for him, between the number of local police and overtime; federal security; helicopters, air force one, pilots, delays at the airport, the horrible mess caused by shutting down the interstate between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Add up the lost time for all of the taxpayers sitting in traffic and not being able to be productive anywhere else (the doctors were waiting for the patients at the doctor's office when I got there, and the waiting room was empty---cool, right?), and who knows how much his little fundraising party actually cost. It would have been cheaper to just write John Kennedy a check from the federal coffers for $500,000, and save us all the time and aggravation of being stuck in traffic for an extra hour just so the almighty could come to a fundraiser.

War Crimes Exposed

Thursday March 13 to Sunday March 16
MORE INFO AND HOW TO WATCH IT LIVE
In 1971, a courageous group of veterans exposed the criminal nature of the Vietnam War in an event called Winter Soldier. Once again, we will demand that the voices of veterans are heard.

Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan will feature testimony from U.S. veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.

The four-day event will bring together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video and photographic evidence. In addition, there will be panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and other specialists to give context to the testimony. These panels will cover everything from the history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support.

George Bush ~ I'm Just Following Orders

The man some call the president has a few things to say about following orders to commit war crimes. Everyone should heed his advice on this, I mean, hey, he was smart enough to go AWOL during Vietnam... just not smart enough to be proud of the fact.

This clip has been edited but the words and intent have not been altered from the original presentation; which was the speech in which Bush gave Sadam a 48 hour ultimatum and outlined various lies to assure the American sheeple of our integrity.
